Orange County Side-Impact Accidents

Take Action After Suffering Injury in a T-Bone Accident

Driving in Southern California is often frustrating and stressful, exacerbated
by the fact that many drivers don't give the road the attention and vigilance
it deserves. Side-impact accidents have dangers that are unique in comparison
to rear-end or head-on collisions, as the amount of space and protection
between you and the other car is minimalized. This often leads to far
more severe injuries and in the worst cases, deaths.

If you were injured or lost a loved one in a side-impact accident that
was caused by another driver, our Orange County car accident lawyers are
here to help. At Cohn & Swartzon, P.C., we believe that negligent
drivers should be held accountable for the damages they caused. Our team
has numerous accolades, including a Martindale-Hubbell® rating of
AV Preeminent®; this means that our peers recognize our commitment
to excellence in the courtroom and on behalf of our clients.

Who is at fault in a T-Bone Accident

Side-impact accidents are almost always the result of one driver's inattentiveness,
impatience, or recklessness. These
car accidents occur in numerous different situations and can be deadly. Also known as
T-bone accidents, these accidents put the driver of the car that is hit,
or a passenger, at high risk of injury.

The side of a car is one of the most vulnerable areas for a collision,
which makes it even more essential for drivers to take necessary precautions
to avoid this kind of accident.

Proving Negligence in Side-Impact Cases

As with most accident cases, winning an injury claim for a side-impact
accident is governed by the concept of negligence. Essentially, this means
that the driver that struck you must have had a duty to care for your
safety. All drivers are expected to operate their vehicles responsibly,
attentively, and alertly in order to avoid endangering others who share the road.

Thus a driver who was not paying attention to oncoming traffic, stop lights,
or signs, is considered negligent. If you sustained an injury that was
caused by this negligent in a T-bone accident, the other driver will almost
always be found liable. In these scenarios, our personal injury lawyers
in Orange County can fight for the full compensation that you deserve
for your accident.
